Editorial Review for Giovanni's – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
A favorite stop for executives and diners in the know, Giovanni's is a Detroit staple, and the real deal: A simple, homey atmosphere complete with family photos on the wall and waiters in vests and bowties. Giovanni's homemade pasta is exceptionally fresh, and the menu emphasizes classics like lightly battered fried calamari and zesty sausage sauteed with onions and peppers. The homemade balsamic-honey salad dressing adds a unique tang to any leafy entree.

I always take people that visit me to Giovanni's & they ALWAYS love it! The atmosphere is lovely. The restaurant is well decorated & inviting. They have an incredible array of pasta dishes & pizzas. I consistently get the Fettucini Roma, the mushrooms are to die for! Anything I've ever eaten there is delicious. Definitely a must-try if you're in the area & looking for a great meal for your money!

The food was fantastic, I had the Prociuto Pizza which was amazing, my friend had the Pecorino pizza, which was also great. Both were wonderful, great thin crusts, bursting with flavors from the fresh and abundant ingredients. The salads are simply dressed with lemon juice, olive oil, sea salt and pepper- but for once, you can actually taste the quality ingredients, not just the salad dressing. The wine selection was superb, and the bartender let us taste a few to see which we liked best. Would definitely go back, wonderful service.
